What it is
How Tirzepatide Injections works
Tirzepatide acts on two gut hormone pathways rather than one, and in head-to-head trials of the branded products it produced more weight loss than semaglutide. It costs more here for the same reason it costs more everywhere: the drug is more expensive.
Start on semaglutide unless there is a reason not to. Your provider will say which fits.
How it is used
One small injection a week, at home.
Compounded tirzepatide goes under the skin of the belly or thigh, on the same day each week. It acts on two appetite pathways rather than one, and is usually the step after semaglutide.
- Needles, syringes and alcohol swabs come with the plan
- Your provider raises the dose step by step, and only when you are ready
- Most side effects are stomach-related and ease as your body adjusts
- Questions go to your care team through the portal
Worth considering if
- BMI 30 or higher
- BMI 27 or higher with a weight-related condition
- Semaglutide did not go far enough
- Your provider thinks the dual mechanism suits you
Not appropriate if
- Anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, or MEN2
- Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy
- Anyone with a history of pancreatitis, without a provider reviewing it first
- Anyone with active gallbladder disease, without a provider reviewing it
Appetite, turned down. Dose, turned up slowly.
Tirzepatide works on the hunger signalling that makes a calorie deficit feel like a fight. It is injected weekly, and your provider moves the dose up gradually so your body can adjust.
- Dosed and adjusted by a licensed provider
- One injection a week, at home
- A lower maintenance dose when you get there
- The same price at every dose
What to know about side effects
Most people have none or mild ones. These are the ones reported most often, and your provider watches for them at every check-in.

Answers
Questions people ask first
Is it better than semaglutide?
On average, in the brand-name trials, it produced more weight loss. Average is not you. Starting on semaglutide at $420 and moving up if it is not enough is a reasonable way to find out.
When am I charged?
$697 at checkout. A provider reviews your intake, usually the same day. Refunded in full if treatment is not appropriate for you.
Pen or vial?
Depends on what the pharmacy has available for your dose. Both are included in the plan price.
Do I need bloodwork?
No. Only testosterone plans start with a hormone panel.
